All the Pasta You Can Eat With Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Pass | Eater

"An annual "Never Ending Pasta Pass" promotion returned with passes going on sale at 2 p.m. EST and expected to sell out quickly (last year’s batch reportedly sold out in about one second; this year’s have similarly sold out). For $300 the year-long pass — limited to 1,000 holders — entitles diners to near-unlimited bowls from a set menu of seven pastas (including one gluten-free), six sauces, and six toppings, which combine into 391 possible bowl permutations; examples include spaghetti with Alfredo paired with meatballs, Italian sausage, grilled chicken, or crispy chicken/shrimp fritta, and there’s even an option to order just a bowl of sauce. Restrictions include dine-in only, non-transferable, no sharing, not valid in Puerto Rico or on Christmas Day, tip not included, and photo ID may be required; marketing copy humorously notes the pass does not cover pasta-related health care. Coverage is playful and celebratory about variety, positioning the offer as a high-value, novelty experience for devoted pasta eaters (and a chance to pair every bowl with breadsticks)." - Tim Forster
